Magic Tank emergency fuel

[Boston_Joe]

I saw this in a list of things to put in your vehicle for emergencies. I'd never heard of it before. The way the inventor explains it they took all of the explosive elements out of the fuel. To me, thats what makes it work in an internal combustion engine, but what do I know?

It's supposed to be stable for 10 years which would make it ideal to have on hand. I'm just wondering what possible damage could be done to my engines.

In the FAQs it says it pushes the conventional gas to the engine to start it then it can run on Magic Tank

Even when your vehicle is “out of gas”, some residual gasoline remains in the fuel line and at the bottom of your gas tank. MAGIC TANK Emergency Fuel pushes this residual conventional gasoline into your vehicle’s engine. The residual gasoline can then start your engine and MAGIC TANK keeps the vehicle running.

I wonder if you can coldfire this from a dry system, like a stored generator?

It sounds like the alcohol emergency stuff dad used to have in his car. It was in a little red bottle. We tried it once. No power but it got us to the gas station.

Redman , did that red bottle look something like this? If so, your dad may not have told you the real reason for keeping it around . ...just sayin

I saw a YouTube Video of a "Don't waste your Money" consumer segment from a local news (not to me) show. They drained the gas from a car and started it, then ran a lawn mower dry and did the same. They seemed to think it was OK.

I guess, if it's stable for 10 years and non explosive then maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to have in the emergency kit. The worst that can happen is it doesn't work and I'm still stuck on the side of the road.
